Cloud Office Web Application – Anywhere, Anytime (with broadband)

Salam,
Saya mulakan perkongsian saya kali ini dengan satu soalan. Siapa yang ada akaun dengan www.live.com atau www.google.com ? Sekiranya anda mempunyai salah satu atau kedua duanya sekali, adakah anda mengetahui bahawa kedua dua pemberi perkhidmatan itu menyediakan "Cloud Office Application" kepada para pelanggan mereka dengan percuma (storan yang terhad tentunya hehe)?
Cloud Office application menyediakan aplikasi Office seperti word processing, spreadsheet, presentation dan lain lain lagi di atas talian. Anda boleh membuat dokumen baru, mengedit, menyimpannya di ruang storan yang disediakan. Selain itu anda juga boleh "download" atau "upload" dokumen. Apa yang anda perlukan hanyalah peralatan yang mempunyai browser dan tentunya sambungan ke internet broadband.
